Wriggle and Crawl
Our next topic is going to be all about MiniBeasts. We are looking forward to exploring where they live, what they look like. We are going to be talking about different life cycles. Looking after different mini beasts.
What a great way to finish a fantastic topic......
Mini-Beast Tea Party
We are starting to pack up all our fantastic work to bring home.......
It's all about the caterpillars for the last two weeks of term...
For the next two weeks we are reading the story ' The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We were all very excited on Monday for the postman to deliver our caterpillars. Just like in the story our caterpillars were tiny too. They've been busy eating and growing all week - the children have been keeping a close eye on them. They are spending the weekend at Miss Lewis house.
We've been our usual Busy Bees - this week we have made cress caterpillars (after a group discussion on growing apples, the children weren't happy how long they would need to wait for an apple to actual grow!!!! So we started to grow cress instead).

This week has also been DT Week in School - our class have been working with Miss Clement to make a giant caterpillar. Here he is.......
Worms and Snails
We've loved having worms and snails in class. We've made worm farms, worm pictures and hunted for worms in our messy play area. Children from all round school have very kindly brought us snails this week. We have painted our very own giant snail shells, made a snail collage, used snails in our maths and used snail shell patterns to help us with our fine motor control. But best of all we've been holding the snails!!!
Worm farms
Minibeasts
What a busy first week we've had for our new topic. This week the children have been on a mini beast hunt in the School gardens, sorted mini beasts into 'legs and no legs', looked at where mini beasts live (Habitats) and had a visit in school by some mini beasts and other animals that wriggle and crawl.
What great visitors we've had at school today.........
